ar9285 arrived today. they actually sent 2. BUT, these are not recognized by BIOS... it's a NOGO.

so either the 'whitelist' is old, or these aren't actually 'hp' ar9285. (the manual i looked at says AR9285G). so i'm back to square one.

i;ll get to the bottom of it, but i've got to hit the road before i can resolve the mPCI-e wifi issue, but i'm wondering if I can use a USB wifi interface. 

I have a DLINK dwa-160 which is identified as '11n ATHER'. I think this is an Atheros AR9001. Somebody posted about this over a year ago, for -9R ... can I use this with -HEAD?

I have some other USB wifi plugins here somewhere, anyone have suggestions for getting wifi to work with something i can get locally in 24 hours?

Thanks!
